Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of rolling compounding, and relates to a production method of hot-rolled super-thick and super-wide double-metal composite plate. BACKGROUND
[0002] The double-metal composite plate is widely applied to key fields such as pressure vessels, nuclear power, ocean engineering and military industry due to excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and interface bonding. At present, the material is mainly produced by explosion compounding and rolling compounding, and the stainless steel composite plate is still mainly medium-thin specifications with a width of less than 3.5 m and a thickness of less than 60 mm.
[0003] With the development of modern industrial equipment towards large-scale, green and complex service environment, the market increasingly urgently needs wider and thicker high-quality stainless steel composite plates. However, the wide and thick stainless steel composite plate with a width of more than 3.5 m and a total thickness of more than 100 mm (of which the base material is greater than or equal to 90 mm, and the stainless steel cladding layer is greater than or equal to 10 mm) still faces major technical challenges in manufacturing process and quality control, and the related technology is still blank at home and abroad, which has significant market potential and development space. SUMMARY
[0004] The application relates to a production method of hot-rolled super-thick and super-wide double-metal composite plate, which aims to improve the plate shape and interface bonding quality of the composite plate by optimizing key processes such as group welding, heating system, rolling process and cooling control, and realizes the industrialized preparation of the high-performance double-metal composite plate with a width of more than 3.5 m and a total thickness of not less than 100 mm (of which the base material is greater than or equal to 90 mm, and the stainless steel cladding layer is greater than or equal to 10 mm).
[0005] The technical scheme of the application is as follows: The production method of the hot-rolled super-thick and super-wide double-metal composite plate is characterized in that the stainless steel layer of the composite plate is S30403, the chemical components of which are as follows in percentage by mass: C=0.02%-0.029%, Si=0.3%-0.5%, Mn=0.8%-1.0%, P<=0.04%, S<=0.005%, Cr=18.0%-18.8%, Ni=8.0%-8.2%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities; the base layer is Q355B low-alloy high-strength steel, the chemical components of which are as follows in percentage by mass: C=0.06%-0.12%, Si=0.15%-0.3%, Mn=1.45%-1.6%, P<=0.02%, S<=0.005%, Al=0.02%-0.05%, Ti=0.008%-0.02%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities; and the key process steps include: (1) Group blanking: adopt asymmetric AB type group blanking mode, A is Q355B base material, B is stainless steel cladding material. The total thickness of the blank meets the compression ratio of 3-5, and the surface treatment, assembly, welding blank packaging and vacuum extraction operations are carried out in turn.
[0006] (2) Heating: place the composite blank with the stainless steel surface facing down, and enter the furnace for heating within 72 hours after vacuum extraction; the heating temperature is 1180-1230℃, the total heating time is ≥blank thickness×1.0 min / mm, and the holding time is ≥blank thickness×0.2 min / mm.
[0007] (3) First stage rolling: the first pass reduction is ≤25mm, the reduction of each of the 2nd to 4th passes is ≥45mm, the finish rolling temperature is ≥1050℃, the cumulative reduction is 80%-100%, and the rolling speed is 1.5-2 m / s.
[0008] (4) Intermediate blank controlled cooling: after the first stage rolling, adopt laminar cooling, the cooling speed is 5-10℃ / s, and the final cooling surface temperature is 820-850℃.
[0009] (5) Second stage rolling: the starting rolling temperature is 800-820℃, the finish rolling temperature is 780-820℃, the rolling speed is 2.5-3.5 m / s, and the pass reduction is ≤10%.
[0010] (6) Controlled cooling: the starting cooling temperature is 750-780℃, the cooling speed is 5-12℃ / s, and the final cooling temperature is 650-690℃.
[0011] (7) Finishing: carry out splitting, straightening, sizing, surface treatment and packaging treatment on the composite plate.
[0012] Further, in step (1) blanking, in the asymmetric AB type blanking mode, automatic submerged arc welding is used for packaging and welding between the base layer and the cladding layer, the groove is double V type, the angle is 45°, the depth is 40mm, and the interlayer temperature is ≤200℃; the welding process is: first, use stainless steel electrode to lay the bottom, the weld depth is 20-25mm, weld 6-8 times, welding current is 350-400A, voltage is 28-32V, and welding speed is 20-24mm / min; then use carbon steel electrode to weld the transition layer, weld 3 times, welding current is 400-450A, voltage is 28-32V, and welding speed is 25-30mm / min; finally, use carbon steel electrode to cover the surface, the weld depth is 15-20mm, weld 8-11 times, welding current is 550-650A, voltage is 32-38V, and welding speed is 26-35mm / min.
[0013] Further, in step (2) heating: when heating, differential temperature control is adopted, so that the temperature of the lower stainless steel surface of the composite blank is higher than that of the upper surface, and the temperature difference is ≥5℃, so as to coordinate the synchronous deformation of the base layer and the cladding layer.
[0014] Further, in the first stage rolling of step (3) and the second stage rolling of step (5), differential speed control is adopted during rolling, so that the linear speed of the lower work roll is higher than the linear speed of the upper work roll by ≥5%, to coordinate the synchronous deformation of the base layer and the cladding layer.
[0015] Further, in the intermediate blank controlled cooling of step (4) and the controlled cooling of step (6), differential temperature control is adopted during cooling, and the cooling water amount ratio of the upper surface to the lower surface is controlled to be between 1 and 1.4, to realize uniform cooling of the base layer and the cladding layer, and to inhibit the interfacial internal stress.
[0016] Principle of the application: Asymmetric blank assembly design is adopted, and the internal structure and bonding quality are improved by increasing the compression ratio. In view of the fact that the ductility of stainless steel is lower than that of ordinary steel during hot rolling deformation and controlled cooling, in order to control the shape and ensure that the upper and lower layer metals extend uniformly during rolling, the stainless layer of the composite blank is placed downward in the present application, differential temperature heating is adopted in the heating furnace, so that the temperature of the lower surface is higher than that of the upper surface (temperature difference ≥5℃); differential speed rolling is adopted in rough rolling and finish rolling, so that the rolling speed of the lower roll is higher than that of the upper roll (speed difference ≥5%), to coordinate the uniform deformation of steel and stainless steel. In addition, considering the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between steel and stainless steel, the water ratio of the upper surface to the lower surface is reasonably set during rapid cooling, so that the shrinkage deformation of the two is matched, and the risk of cracks on the bonding surface caused by thermal stress is effectively reduced.
[0017] Advantages of the application: The hot-rolled wide and ultra-thick bimetallic composite plate produced by the method of the present application has the comprehensive advantages of good shape, high interface bonding rate, excellent shear strength and low residual stress, and successfully realizes the industrialized and stable production of such composite plates, which effectively promotes the application and popularization of the composite plates in the field of major equipment.
